Andorran label, I believe, which has implications.

Gotta love any BFT that features both Hannibal Peterson and Billy Harper! I have those two plus the Cyrille "My Friend Louis" album and the Waldron. Some thoughts on other selections: 2 - Really like this, look forward to the reveal. Wonder if I have it, and if I don't , how much it's gonna cost me . Kosuke Mine? 6 - Title track from Mal Waldron's "The Call". Fascinating stuff if you're into it. I am. Originally a German release on JAPO. 14 - I'm usually totally in step with my friend Thom, but I actually like this one quite a bit. Wonder if I don't have it sitting on the shelves already. Look forward to the reveal, or to someone ID'ing it. Great BFT, though it probably does run long. FWIW, I used to keep mine to one 80-minute disc. Really looking forward to those reveals, especially on #'s 2 and 14.

I have Root Down, and appreciate it. Not aware of the others. Man, he recorded a LOT of albums in the 50's and 60's!

I have two genre sections, one for jazz and one for everything else (I don't do classical). CTI is a really good idea for segregating, and Mainstream would make sense for me. Savoy sort of mixes in with Prestige, Riverside, etc. for me.

I file my 30's-70's Blue Notes separately from my main jazz shelves. Do the same with Strata-East and Black Jazz. Cases where I mostly identify with the label more strongly than with the artists.

I like Williams's 60's Columbia work quite a bit. Have some on shelf with Sinatra's 50's Capitol albums and some early Johnny Mathis. As far as the wardrobe change, I think some sweet green icing had melted onto the black tux

Love it! And East/West was even better! All of their albums except the last one were excellent.

Those are some pretty tasty crumbs. Love that Mingus set.

Any thoughts on these two books? I have a LOT of Miles Davis books already. Is this one special in any way?

My friend Ruth Naomi Floyd studied with him, considers him a major mentor and influence, and has nothing but props for him. He recorded with her on her "Root to the Fruit" album.

Mark I was THE Purple for me. Rod Evans ruled! Much stronger set than I expected. Have come close to pulling the trigger on the 4CD version several times.

That may explain those final Albert Ayler records

Strange happenstance, I started listening to the exact same concert in my car yesterday, continuing today - working through a stack of old CD-R's I had burned many years ago but never got around to hearing. Nice to see it sandwiched by two excellent Billy Harper compositions.

Very underrated Athens group. I really enjoyed them back in the day, and their albums have held up well.

I haven't either, and I would have jumped on it if I had seen it.

black coffee. all day every day at work.

Not according to Discogs. Yes, excellent set, a favorite of his for me. Vinyl seems easy enough to come by, but would love to have a CD of it.

Calling all Smiths fans. This is amazingly inventive and good. To me, Marr was the one who made the Smiths really special.

The US Shepp CD is cheap on discogs and ebay. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/1414791?ev=rb
